As amazing as Katy Perry's Super Bowl halftime show performance was on Sunday -- what with its gazillion Jeremy Scott costume changes, massive mechanical mammal, and freakin' Missy Elliott -- the poor thing sort of ended up getting overshadowed by a guy dancing in a shark suit. Oh, STORY OF OUR LIVES. Yup, everyone was talking about the LEFT SHARK forgetting his moves during Teenage Dream.

So now the choreographer behind the performance has spoken out on the whole situation, saying lefty "nailed" that "goofy" vibe they were going for. HA.

OPENING UP to the Hollywood Reporter, choreographer RJ Durell explained: "The sharks were given two main objectives. One, perform Katy's trademark moves to the Teenage Dream chorus, which they both did perfectly; and two, to have loads of fun, and bring to life these characters in a cartoon manner, giving them a Tweedledee/Tweedledum-type persona.

"Clearly, that was portrayed with the overzealous shark on the right hitting precise dance moves, while the left shark was playing up the more goofy, fun-spirited sports fan mascot type, who was just happy to be at the Super Bowl. We love the laughter and joy this moment has created for the world and think the left shark nailed it! Don't forget…we all have a little left shark in us."

Well, there you go then.

In further news, the actual human being (Scott Myrick) in said shark costume is actually ridiculously hot. Have a look!
